Hello Chang’an
Chapter 30: I'm afraid that love will hurt him
Chapter 30 I’m afraid that love will hurt him
The man in the pavilion had obviously been paying attention to his surroundings. As soon as the two masters and servants Chang Sui Ning appeared, he saw them quickly.
The two sides were not close, but the girl's figure was visible in the distance. The man suddenly grasped the edge of his sleeves, and a look of shock that could not be concealed appeared in his eyes.
Although the girl is wearing a power fence, he will never admit her mistake.
Seeing the pair of master and servant approaching, the man quickly put away all the strange expressions on his face, walked quickly out of the pavilion, and greeted them with a smile.
The folk customs in Dasheng are relatively civilized. It is spring, and it is not uncommon for boys and girls to go out together for spring outings. The appearance of a girl wearing a power fence is not eye-catching.
"Ms. Chang is here." Zhou Ding raised his hand and saluted, with a graceful style: "Ms. Chang, please—"
Chang Sui Ning nodded slightly and walked towards the pavilion.
After entering the pavilion, she casually picked up the gauze covering her face and put it on the edge of the curtain hat.
The girl's skin is like cream, her lips are not dotted with red, and her pair of apricot eyes are transparent and clear. At a glance, she feels that the lake, water and mountains outside the pavilion have been suppressed and lost their color.
Seeing this pretty and harmless face, Zhou Ding's heart beat a few times, and most of the initial panic dissipated unconsciously.
"I haven't seen Mrs. Chang for many days, so I'm really worried. I got the letter yesterday and found out that Mrs. Chang is ill..." He asked with concern, "I wonder if she's feeling better now?"
"It's all right." Chang Suining then looked at him: "Mr. Zhou, does he know how I contracted the disease?"
Zhou Ding was stunned and said blankly: "Ms. Chang...why did she get sick?"
"On the night of the Lantern Festival, I was pushed into the water by the Yueqiao River. As a result, I became seriously ill and almost died."
Zhou Ding's expression suddenly changed, and he suppressed a bit of shock and anger: "How...how could such a thing happen? Who could be so bold?"
Chang Suining: "The sky is too dark, I can't see clearly."
Since this person dared to come to the appointment, it was obvious that he was not the one who took action that night - he borrowed the help of others. This is very simple and easy to understand.
She continued: "I came today just to ask Mr. Zhou whether he also went to the Yueqiao River that night. Did he see anyone suspicious?"
There was something undecided in her words, and Zhou Ding's words quickly gave her the answer: "I was just about to apologize to Mrs. Chang for this matter. I was busy with family matters that night and was unable to make the appointment on time... When I arrived, Mrs. Chang was no longer there. Madam, I just thought that Madam Chang couldn’t wait for a long time, so she went back to her house first—”
Chang Sui Ning is clear.
Therefore, it was indeed him who asked Ah Li out—a secret way of inviting her with poetry.
"But who would have thought that Madam Chang would have encountered such a thing!" Zhou Ding said with guilt on his face: "This is all my fault... If I hadn't invited you, Madam Chang would not have suffered this disaster... Madam Chang, can you blame me? "
Chang Suining nodded: "Weird."
Zhou Ding: "...?"
"...It's also human nature." He quickly adjusted his expression and bowed deeply to Chang Suining: "I apologize to Madam Chang."
Chang Suining glanced at him.
It really just depends on one mouth.
It was also at this time that she saw several thin calluses on the person's fingertips.
This is a gambler.
This was included in the news Chang Sui'an brought back last night.
If at first she was a little suspicious about why a scholar with a reputation as a scholar would take the risk to murder the girl in the palace of the General Hussar, then when she learned that the other party had a gambling addiction, the question was answered.
Gamblers need money, and need it urgently.
People who are truly addicted to gambling often cannot be called human beings. Not hearing the expected response, the person who maintained the bowing gesture added another sentence: "Ms. Chang, if she wants to be beaten or scolded, Zhou Ding will not hesitate."
Chang Suining said quietly: "No need."
There is no need to beat or scold, just pay with your life.
Only then did Zhou Ding breathe a sigh of relief in his heart and straightened up: "Speaking of which, Mrs. Chang is so pure and kind and has never made enemies with anyone. How could she cause such disaster? Who was it that pushed Mrs. Chang into the water? Your mansion. Have you found any clues? If there is anything I can do to help, I hope Madam Chang will tell me."
Chang Sui Ning pretended not to hear his temptation: "Although I was saved after falling into the water, I was in a coma for several days before I woke up. The crowd at the Shangyuan Lantern Festival was chaotic, and nothing has been found yet."
As for whether there was anything he could do to help - there was plenty.
Zhou Ding frowned with a complicated expression: "The person who did this is so sinister. It will be really disturbing if we can't find out the truth."
As he spoke, his expression suddenly felt touched: "Ms. Chang is so frightened, and the thief has not been caught yet, so she shouldn't risk going out to see you..."
Chang Suining: "..."
How did it get involved?
"Today, in addition to wanting to ask Mr. Zhou about the night of the Lantern Festival, I also came here for another matter."
Zhou Ding: "I wonder what Mrs. Chang is referring to?"
"I heard that Mr. Zhou got engaged a few days ago." Chang Sui Ning asked quietly, "Why didn't you tell me about such a happy event?"
This is the second piece of news worth mentioning that Chang Sui'an brought back last night.
Zhou Ding's face changed several times, and his eyes were a little panicked, but there was also some inexplicable hope.
He was thinking—
No wonder Mrs. Chang treated him quite coldly today, but she clearly had no suspicion of him...
Turns out he was jealous!
This is obviously trying to get a little angry with him, right?
He had tried to test her feelings in secret before, but she never responded. She only focused on talking about poetry and poetry with him. He had already thought that she had no intention of treating him, and there was no future for her, so he was able to make up his mind and agree. That person...
Now it seems that she doesn't care about him.
She just didn't know what it meant to like someone before... It wasn't until she heard that he was engaged that she finally understood her true feelings!
Before she recovered from her serious illness, she came to question him about his engagement... She was afraid that she would fall in love with him!
Come to think of it, she is sensitive and withdrawn, and has little contact with foreign men. She met him when she was just 28 years old. She thought that he had a reputation as a scholar at a young age, and that he wanted to have a bright future, and that he wanted talent and appearance—she was attracted to him. , it is also human nature and it should be taken for granted.
Zhou Ding's heart suddenly became hot, but his face was struggling with pain, and his eyes were filled with unblessed affection -
Chang Suining: "..."
Frankly speaking, this person has a little bit of beauty, but because he tried so hard to turn the three points into eight points, he actually lost the original three points completely - which is another sense of the gain outweighs the losses. .
Not only that, he also took two steps closer to Chang Suining.
Chang Suining clenched his fingers tightly and tried his best to suppress the urge to throw this person over his shoulder and kick him into the lake.
Zhou Ding had already opened his mouth to "explain": "The engagement with her was not due to love between a man and a woman. It was just because her parents died, and she and her younger brother were the only ones in the family who had no one to take care of them. The two families were old friends, and I couldn't bear to see them. Her brother and sister were helpless, so they agreed..."
Chang Sui Ning was suddenly surprised: "Is it a good idea to go out of your way?"
"...?!" Zhou Ding looked at her in confusion: "...Chang, why does Mrs. Chang miss me so much?"
Good afternoon everyone!
